Cherrybomb are having a blast!
Benn
Benn "Is someone breaking into my car...?"

Darwen band Cherrybomb is made up of Craig aka "Skinny" on vocals, "Guitar God" Simon, Benn, who likes to think he has the looks, moves, physique and sex appeal of "Busted" but in truth it's more like "Buster" according to the lads, Pete who likes hanging round Spain and Gary on drums - you wouldn't pick a fight with him.

We grabbed Benn (not literally) for a bit of a chat...

So what's with the fruity name?
"Homage to John Peel, the ultimate fruit stalwart... Or possibly Gladys Knight and the Pips."

Boom boom. What kind of music do you play?
"We play music to dance/pogo to. We are on a mission to educate the masses and open their ears to quality music."

"Kathryn Shaw, School trip to France 1988 (what a fox...grrrr!!)"

Fave programme when you were a kid?
"G-Force Battle of the Planets, Tiny is my role model."

When was the last time you were sick?
"About three weeks ago... Too much rum on an empty stomach... Ouch!!"

Who's the biggest slob in the band?
"I've just decided to decorate my house after 10 years of builders magnolia... So probably me!!!"

What do you do if you get a spot? "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZE!!!!!!!!"

That's disgusting. What's the daftest thing you've ever done?
"Blue cardigan with brown jeans... Crime!!"

Fair doos. What's your favourite pie?
"Savoury - Cold meat and potato / Sweet - Apple pie with gloopy custard."

What makes you angry?
"Mr Blobby and people who complain all the time. And Pop Idol."

Who would you be on Stars in Their Eyes?
"Tony Bennett or Shaun Ryder."

It could be an interesting duet... Complete this sentence 'You should come and see Cherrybomb's next gig because...'
"W
e know you wanna dance baby!!"
